Battlefield 1943 is the Fastest
Title on Xbox LIVE Arcade to Reach 1M Milestone

DICE today announced that
Battlefield 1943 is the fastest game to reach 1M units sold on Xbox LIVE Arcade
for the Xbox 360. Battlefield 1943 is a critically acclaimed First-Person
Shooter multiplayer game that IGN says “…is an impressive package that sets a
new standard for digital titles.”

“The reception of Battlefield 1943
continues to amaze us, even months after the game was released,” says Gordon Van
Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943. “Being the fastest game to reach this
milestone is an incredible achievement. The game has set a new standard for what
can be done in the downloadable games category. It’s fantastic to see how gamers
have recognized the value that the game delivers for just $15. It is another
great entry point into the Battlefield franchise.”

Originally released in July 2009,
Battlefield 1943 has won over 4 game critic awards and is the most popular
download-only multiplayer action game. The game brings DICE’s first-class WWII
action to gamers where 24 players can compete across four classic WWII
Battlefield maps: Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Coral Sea. These maps
are inspired by the award winning Battlefield 1942 game, and have been
redesigned and reengineered from the ground up using the DICE Frostbite engine
allowing players to wreak havoc and destruction via land, sea or air.

Battlefield 1943 is now available on
Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 MS Points or on PlayStation Network for $15. The game
will soon also be available for PC.
